Sometimes, it turns out to be much more than what we anticipated. Much worse.
My nightmare is alive! That's what my brain tells me.
I need to remain calm and collected. I know the future is going to come by and how bad can it get as long as we have shelter, food and clothes? What more can a man possibly need?
Let's take it right back to the start. How did we manage to survive on this earth in the first place? By tilling it, working on it to ensure our abundant food supply. If there were none of this, we vanish. We just cannot support our lives to continue without these essentials. So what do we need to learn? What do we need to know? It may seem trivial, but I am in complete agreement with some of the statement Larry Korn has made in his lectures. We need to learn agriculture FAST. We don't have much time.
From PETA website:
According to the United Nations, raising animals for food (including land used for grazing and land used to grow feed crops) now uses a staggering 30 percent of the Earth’s land mass. More than 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared to create cropland to grow grain to feed farmed animals, and according to scientists at the Smithsonian Institution, the equivalent of seven football fields of land is bulldozed worldwide every minute to create more room for farmed animals.
Livestock grazing is the number one reason that plant species in the United States become threatened and go extinct, and it also leads to soil erosion and eventual desertification that renders once-fertile land barren.
more than 70 percent of the grain and cereals that we grow in this country are fed to farmed animals.

Are the statistics worrying or what?
Jared Diamond's Book "Collapse" shows the hard cold facts that have happened in the past. What makes us so susceptible to these problems if we blindly keep living the way we're living now?
